Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating

r, in the second option, if the reinforcements from the inner city did not arrive in time, Lu Yu would be in danger.
By that time, he wouldn’t have the strength left to fight the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth anymore.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu still felt that it was safer to rely on himself.
He chose to fight with his full strength and slay the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

Apart from having the assurance of his own reliability, if Lu Yu slew the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth all alone, then the spoils of war belonged to him alone.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was so powerful, and it was an A-class Fearsome Beast at that.
If Lu Yu could eat it, he would definitely be able to elevate his ability by leaps and bounds.

After making up his mind, Lu Yu immediately took action.

In terms of strength, Lu Yu had a small advantage, but it wasn’t enough for him to win outright.

However, Lu Yu still had the powerful Blood Emperor Battle Saber and Red Lotus Battle Energy.
If he could make good use of both of them, he felt that his chances of winning would be very high.

Lu Yu raised the Blood Emperor Battle Saber and activated all of his augmentation skills at once.
The augmentation factors overlapped and stacked up, unleashing his aura at full force.
A terrifying strength was infused into the Blood Emperor Battle Saber.
1
The characteristic of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber was that, the greater the power, the stronger the saber.

Under such a powerful force, the Blood Emperor Battle Saber glinted with flashes of light.
It emitted a continuous drone of low saber hums, as if it was yearning for battle and fresh blood.

Lu Yu activated Shadowstep and charged towards the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth came charging at Lu Yu again in a stampede.

However, this time, Lu Yu didn’t go for a head-on clash with it.
The first time he did it was only to protect Song Yu and get some idea of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s actual strength.

As the Shadowstep launched into action, Lu Yu’s speed immediately increased.

His body flashed momentarily and he nimbly dodged the stampede of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and reached its side.
Unleashing his full strength, he swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber at the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

With his full strength, combined with the sharpness of the Blood Emperor Battle Saber, in one single slash, the saber tore open the thick armor covering the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s body, leaving a long gash.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth let out a roar in pain.
Immediately afterwards, red fiery flames burst forth and covered its whole body before sweeping out in a sea of fire towards Lu Yu.

Although the plate armor on Lu Yu’s body had incredibly powerful physical defense, it wasn’t very effective against flames.

All of a sudden, Lu Yu’s entire body heated up.
He hurriedly activated Shadowstep and retreated into the distance.

Even Lu Yu was shocked by the scorching heat of the plate armor on his body.
If he had retreated too late, he might have been roasted already.

Lu Yu did not expect the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth to possess such a powerful fire-attribute energy, besides having tremendous physical strength.

However, at the same time, Lu Yu’s eyes were now filled with desire.
If he could successfully slay this Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth and eat its meat, then Lu Yu’s Red Lotus Battle Energy might receive a big boost!

At this thought, Lu Yu hurriedly activated his Red Lotus Battle Energy.
A huge beam of fire about the size of a person appeared and went shooting towards the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

The Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth was not to be outdone either.
Red fiery flames converged and went flying in the opposite direction.

On one side were red fiery flames, and on the other side were blood-red fiery flames.
They clashed together explosively.

On impact, Lu Yu’s Red Lotus Battle Energy was slightly superior and it successfully suppressed the other strike.
It then continued its momentum and finally hit the body of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth.

However, after having much of its power absorbed on impact by the red fiery flames of the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth, there wasn’t much power left in the Red Lotus Battle Energy and it did not cause much damage to the Scarlet Shaggy Mammoth’s body.

Seeing his Red Lotus Battle Energy succeeding and coming out ahead of the opponent’s strike, Lu Yu felt very relieved.
After all, this was an improved Red Lotus Battle Energy that was extremely powerful.
It was not at all inferior to the fire-attribute skills of an A-class Fearsome Beast.

After learning that the Red Lotus Battle Energy was better at neutralizing the opponent’s attack, Lu Yu then activated the Furnace skill in reverse.

Igniting strength, he doubled his health vitality!

As his health vitality surged, the Red Lotus True Fire converged once again.

This time, the Red Lotus True Fire was much smaller in size than before.
Instead of the size of a person, it was now as thick as a leg.
1
However, its power was concentrated inside this smaller size, and the power contained within it was several times greater than before!
